What is Hackers' Pub?

Hackers' Pub is a place for software engineers to share their knowledge and experience with each other. It's also an ActivityPub-enabled social network, so you can follow your favorite hackers in the fediverse and get their latest posts in your feed.

Have any of you ever transferred a sticker from one laptop (or other smooth surface) to another? My laptop case has cracked, so I'm going to use a sturdier one, though I really like my dozen-or-so stickers. Is it as simple as heating up the stickers with a hairdryer and re-applying them on the new surface, or should also I get some arts and craft kind of glue to make it hold?

I've looked at a couple of tips online that seem to indicate that's the way to go but I wonder if it's worth the hassle!

Did some work on parallelising something and getting good results. The main obstacles for correctness were of course runtime isolation and removal of shared state, but these numbers are fantastic:

-j1
real 9m30.062s
user 6m50.538s
sys 3m17.263s

-j2
real 5m12.476s
user 6m51.635s
sys 3m48.390s

-j4
real 3m7.976s
user 6m46.020s
sys 4m25.210s

-j6
real 2m33.519s
user 7m3.503s
sys 5m15.547s

-j8
real 2m26.915s
user 7m4.006s
sys 5m46.627s

Gains are compounding as we run this a lot a lot and in many configurations at a time.

A good day’s work, and I think we can probably stop here for now.

Been listening to Soundshock 3 again. It's funny, when it came out I think I had the “maybe this isn't as good as the first two" reaction - but that's because it had been years, and I'd had so so much time to listen to them. Feels like I'm starting to develop that relationship with 3 by now.

I'm looking for other trans people born in the UK who live abroad, who applied for a GRC and got denied with a request for documentation that is nonexistent or otherwise impossible to obtain, despite living in an approved country/state.

I'm a UK citizen who transitioned while living in an approved territory. I obtained a court order in July 2024 that legally changed my name, with gender transition explicitly stated as the (mandatory) reason for change, and was used in conjunction with a doctor's letter to update the name and gender marker on my my driver's license - this represents the complete legal gender recognition process available in that state.

The Gender Recognition Panel has now requested additional "evidence of a change of gender in an approved country or territory" beyond what I've already provided. The problem: as a UK citizen born in the UK, I cannot obtain a US birth certificate from any state. The court order and state ID are the only documents that exist.
The GRP appears to expect documentation (like amended birth certificates) that only exists for people born in those territories, not for UK citizens who obtained recognition there.

As I no longer live in the UK and would not return under any circumstances given the current government, I do not have a UK doctor, so there appears to be literally no way it would be possible for me to have a correct birth certificate.

I'm exploring legal action and it would strengthen the case significantly if this is a systemic issue affecting multiple people.

You can either reply or message me privately here, or if you would rather, DM me for my discord or signal contact info.

"Today's announcement is turning out to be a huge disappointment for climate groups who want Ottawa to double down on renewable energy like wind and solar"

point of order: can we start by even *singling* down on wind and solar? for all the talk about how we need to drastically increase electricity generation, our year-on-year growth is not even hitting double digits. our installed solar capacity, in particular, is well behind peer countries 😥

87% of the people whose communications carry the most weight, and whose understanding of the state, context and direction of their business have the most impact on its survival, use Generative AI at work.

Good lord, this is a suicide note.

So, Hegseth illegally ordered everyone killed in the first alleged drug boat strike on Sept. 2, prompting a second hit to finish off survivors in the water. — This is the real reason why Trump & Hegseth absolutely freaked out about the video against illegal orders.

"The US MIL🚨carried out a follow-up strike on a suspected drug vessel in the Caribbean on Sept 2,💔killing survivors of the initial strike, sources said.

People briefed on the “double-tap” strike said they were concerned that it could violate the law of armed conflict, which prohibits the execution of an enemy combatant who's “hors de combat,” or taken out of the fight due to injury or surrender."

Anyone hiring a frontend developer in Canada? Circumstances have led me to start looking for my next job sooner than I would have liked.

I excel at working on design systems, cultivating a frontend culture, building with the grain of the web, and creating inclusive user experiences. Reach out if you need help with any of these!

I have deep knowledge of the web fundamentals (HTML/ARIA, CSS, JS) and the frontend ecosystem at large (build tools, frameworks, design tools).

As a European, I have nothing to do with American Thanksgiving, but the timing of the holiday coincides with a hardware donation I just sent off to @computertruheComputertruhe e. V. (after checking with them which parts they'd want). I feel like that kinda matches the spirit of the thing. 😄 They use them to refurbish PCs for people who can't afford new ones.

If you're a PC tinkerer in or near Germany and you have unused components collecting dust, consider sending them a message: computertruhe.de/spenden/sachs
